Decorated front of a political leaflet distributed by Nikki Craft and seven other women at the American Civil Liberties Union's Bill of Rights Day fundraiser at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco on December 15, 1991. The leaflet turns the visual language of celebration into satire and reproduces the November 28, 1991 cease-and-desist letter from Dorothy M. Ehrlich of the ACLU of Northern California. It made the institution's private legal threat available for public inspection at its own Bill of Rights celebration. This front is preserved as a standalone archival entry; the related reverse-side press release is ACLU-03a.
